SAFETY-RAZOR.

To all whom it may Conce/rn Be it known that I, SAM Krrzns, a citi- Zenof the United States, and a resident of the city of New York, borough ofManhattan, in the county and State of New York, have invented a new andImproved Safety- Razor, of which the following is a full, clear, andexact description.

The object of the invention is to provide a new and improved safetyrazor of the flexible blade type, arranged to permit of conveniently andquickly assembling and disassembling the parts, and to provide adctachable gathering receptacle for the lather.

For the purpose mentioned7 use is made of a frame provided at the topwith a guard, a razor blade resting on the said guard, a backingoverlying the said razor blade and provided with a fixed rod having athreaded end, a lather-receiving receptacle detachably held on the saidframe, the said razor blade, the said guard, the said frame bottom andthe said receptacle having registering apertures for the passage of thesaid rod, and a handle screwing on the lower end of the said rod andabutting against the under side of the said receptacle to fasten theseveral parts together.

A practical embodiment of the invention is represented in theaccompanying drawings forming a part of this specification, in whichsimilar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all theviews.

Figure l is a sectional side elevation of the saf-ety razor; Fig. 2 is alike view of the same with the parts disassembled; and Fig. 3 is a crosssection of the safety razor.

The frame A of the safety razor is formed of a bottom A', end bars A2rising from the said bottom A, and a guard plate A3 attached to theupper ends of the bars A2, as plainly indicated in the drawings. Theguard plate Asis curved in a transverse direction and is provided at thefront and rear edges with teeth A4 forming guards. A flexible razorblade B is adapted to rest on the top of the guard plate A3 and thecutting edges of the razor blade B extend to within a short distance ofthe points of the teeth A4 so that the latter form a proper guard forthe cutting edges. A backing C curved in a transverse direction isadapted to overlie the razor blade B, and the said backing C is providedwith lugs C extending through apertures B formed in the razor blade Band also extending through Speccaton of Letters Patent.

apertures A5 formed in the guard plate A3. By the arrangement describedthe razor blade B is held properly on the guard plate A3 at the time theparts are assembled.

The backing C is provided at its middle with a depending rod D extendingloosely through an aperture B2 formed in the razor blade B and alsopassing through apertures A, vAT formed in the guard plate A3 and thebottom A of the frame A.

A lather-receiving receptacle E in the form of a trough is removablyheld on the bottom A of the frame A, and the bottom of the receptacle Eis provided with an opening' E through which is adapted to pass thelower threaded end D of the rod D, to permit the user to screw a handleF onto the threaded end D with a view to fasten the several partstogether, and to draw the backing C downward with a view to curve theflexible blade B on the guard plate A3, and to securely fasten thereceptacle E in position on the under side of the bottom A of the frameA. rl`he bottom A is provided at the front and rear withupwardly-extending struck-up lugs A8 on which rest lugs Ff struck upfrom the front and rear of the receptacle E and bent inwardly so as toengage the lugs A8 at the top on sliding the receptacle E sidewise intoposition on the frame A, as plainly indicated in Figs. l and 3. `Whcnthe parts are to be assembled, the receptacle is slid sidewise on thebottom of the frame until the lugs E2 of the receptacle engage and reston the lugs AS of the bottom. The receptacle, which is on the outside ofthe bottom of the frame, is thus held on the frame and when thereceptacle is in this position the openings in the bottom of the frameand the receptacle are in register for the passage of the threaded endof the rod D. It is understood that on screwing up the handle F on thethreaded end D of the rod D, the receptacle E is firmly fastened inposition and endwise movement thereof is prevented.

Vhen it is desired to disassemble the part-s for removing the razorblade, the user unscrews the handle F from the threaded end D of the rodD to permit of lifting the backing C ott the blade B and to disengagethe rod D from the frame A to allow removal of the razor blade B andalso Side wise removal of the receptacle E from the frame A. The severalparts can then be readily cleaned, replaced and fastened together byscrewing the handle F on the threaded end D of the rod D.

The safety razor shown and described is composed of comparatively fewparts and when in use the lather readily passes into the receptacle Ewhich thus forms a shield for the hand holding the safety razor.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secureby Letters Patent:

l. A safety razor, comprising in combination a frame provided at the topwith a guard, a blade resting on the said guard, a backing overlying thesaid blade and provided with a fixed rod having a threaded end, alather-receiving receptacle detachably held on the bottom of the saidframe, the said blade, the said guard, the said frame bottom and thesaid receptacle having registering apertures for the passage of the saidrod, and a handle screwing on the lower end of the said rod and abuttingagainst the under side of the said receptacle to fasten the severalparts together.

2. A safety razor, comprising in combinatic-n a frame provided at thetop with a guard, a blade resting on the said guard, a backingoverlying' the said blade and provided with a fixed rod having athreaded end, a lather-receiving receptacle detachably held on thebottom of the said frame, the said receptacle being provided withinwardly-extending struck-up lugs and the bottom of the frame beingprovided with upwardly-extending lugs on which rest the said receptaclelugs, the said blade, the said guard, the said frame bottom and the saidreceptacle having registering apertures for the passage of the said rod,and a handle screwing o-n the lower end of the said rod and abuttingagainst the under side of the said receptacle to fasten the severalparts together.

3. A safety razor provided with a frame having a bottom, alather-gathering receptacle held sidewise removable on the bottom ofsaid frame on the outer face thereof, the bottom of said frame and thesaid receptacle being provided on the front and rear with lugs inengagement with each other, to hold the receptacle in position on theframe, and means fastening the receptacle to the said frame.

4. A safety razorv provided with a frame, a lather-gathering receptacleof trough shape and provided with inwardly-extending lugs, the framehaving a bottom provided with upwardly-eXtending lugs engaged by thesaid receptacle lugs, end bars rising integrally from the said bottom,and a guard plate held on the upper ends of the said end bars.

In testimony whereof I have signed Inv name to this specification in thepresence of two subscribing witnesses.
